Fire at James Monroe Elementary School in Edison, NJ

Hundreds of students have no school to attend after a raging fire at the James Monroe Elementary gutted their Edison classrooms, leaving district officials scrambling to find a temporary replacement for the 50-year-old building.

Investigators are still searching for the cause of the blaze that all but leveled James Monroe Elementary School. It’s an absolutely devastating tragedy for our community. Firefighters arrived at the locked, empty school around 8PM with several sections engulfed in flames.  It remains unclear what ignited the blaze, which Edison Police Chief Thomas Bryan called “very suspicious”, but the inferno seemed to be concentrated at its center near the library and school offices.

Despite heavy smoke, firefighters entered the building and tried to knock the flames back. The “defensive” effort was in vain, and the firefighters were forced to back out of the building.
